Sourcing local reduces transportation emissions and supports local economies. Sustainable sourcing promotes responsible production methods (SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 8 Decent Work & Economic Growth). Local procurement can reduce transportation costs, support the local economy, and contribute to a unique and authentic guest experience. Sustainable sourcing can also mitigate supply chain risks, meet growing consumer preferences for environmentally and socially responsible products, and enhance the hotel's sustainability profile.
